Transcripts For MSNBCW State Of The Union 20230208

0 calm, steady place to work. >> it has been. what i would say is remarkable about it is that nobody left during the first two years, and that nobody has left since republicans took control of the house. many of them know that they will be the subject of an impeachment inquiry from the house. they are still there. secretary mayorkas, probably the first target. he is walking into listen to the president speech tonight, and there's no indication that he's leaving. that's actually pretty remarkable, given what they know they're going to face. >> you see the secretary here, the aforementioned secretary mayorkas, 1000 people in that room. i have to say, i know this is wrong, but it does give me -- to see the average age of that room, and see precisely one mask. i realize we're in a different position, but these are a lot of very important, very powerful for the most part, very old people. there are 1000 of them in the room, and they're going to be in their screaming together for several hours, and bernie sanders is the only mask that i've seen. >> it is coming at the time that the white house is saying that the covid, trying to point to covid, trying to end the emergency designation for covid, and the funds available. just the optics. >> the president is expected to talk tonight about ending the covid emergency, as of may, which will have a practical impact in terms of regular american households affecting free tests, free treatment, medicaid enrollment, which is extended, and has been massively successful. that statistic that you cited earlier about the highest level of insurance is partly due to the expanded medicaid enrollment that happened as pursuant to the american people. >> dennis with the very rare white house staff to cabinet trajectory. >> it will be interesting to see tonight. this unofficial, and if you ask me to back it up later, i will tell you that i never heard it anywhere. in, fact we are hearing unofficially the sort of rumors tonight that this is a long state of the union, that this is an address of sub heft. if needed done is right and telling us that this is not going to be a big speech, as you are saying, this is going to be an optimistic speech about what we've done, and where we're going, what we can do together. the question is whether it is a list of policies, or whether there is a thesis to be advanced by president biden, as to what he can do with kevin mccarthy, and what the two houses can do together if there is going to be, as you said, good praise and acknowledgment of the republican senate leader, mitch mcconnell, for history asian as leader in the senate. that is an olive branch of a sort. >> it's interesting, because if nothing else, it's an opportunity to remind ourselves of who joe biden is. he is not a rhetorical, he's not a -- he's not president obama. but he has a very authentic speaker. the fact that he worked with a stutter informs the way that he speaks. i saw him speak once in front of an a b j, and i've seen him speak in black churches, he has a way of connecting to whatever audience he is in front of, and sort of becoming a member of the audience in a way. he sort of speaks for the regular guy, and i think that it's interesting. president biden's superpower is that he is a regular person. it is the sort of fact that he is not an unusual politician, and so a long speech from him is interesting, because it gets more conversations, it's not going to be pounding you over the head with trump, but it's just something different. it's interesting to see how crafts it, and if he does try to store a little bit. this is the biggest audience that he will probably ever get during the year. >> and denouncing that he's running for reelection. >> the speaker, the president of the united states! [applause] he took his time leaving, you remember that. he's really enjoying these moments so deeply. >> he's a retail politician, the handshake, face to face contact, that's his superpower as well. >> sometimes, these moments have some substance to them. you can at least liberate a little bit, the second gentleman and the first lady are together in the viewing box. >> and it's who he chooses to side with, that's of significance. this face time and chat time as well, trying to avoid george santos. >> trying to figure out if he's already passed him. >> or if he accidentally walks into him. >> he did pass him, i see representative massie,. >> you see a lot of ukrainian flags, right on what peoples lapels tonight. >> it's going to be an interesting moment when he talks about that, because it will really defines -- >> and last year, we wrote the speech in a day leading up to the speech, seeing the first third about ukraine. it was an interesting phase after russia had invaded ukraine, and i don't expect that it will be the same this year. the ambassador of ukraine, ambassador to united states is sitting in the box. certainly, their fight and will is very different from what it was in that chamber a year ago. >> nbc news reporting today that for the anniversary of this war, this month president biden is traveling to poland, and so we'll get the front lines of that conflict. signifying more u.s. work for the ukrainians as they continue to fight off the russian invasion. >> if you've noticed, some the members have the 1870 pins on that is for a young man named henry, who was killed by police in 1807 in philadelphia. it's a message about police reform. you have a bunch of members of the congressional caucus wearing those, 1807 pins. >> and it's the year that black men were given the right to vote, and it's also the first known police killing of a free black man in the united states. i know you talked about this on your show in the last hour, but at least a couple dozen members of congress are going to wear the 1870 pence tonight, saying that it's been this many years since the representative from new jersey hated those out. >> hakeem jeffries immediately behind the president, new generation of democratic leadership, as they have stepped down to make way for a new generation of democratic leaders, led by hakeem jeffries of new york. [applause] >> i've got a reporting from garrett and his twitter feed, president biden clearly looked at representative santos in the eye, but did not shake hands. >> god bless, you my friend, thank you for answering all of our questions, looking for a new way to ask them. >> all right. >> very enthusiastic walk-up. members of both parties, so far. >> i just think the president is having a good time. >> and now he goes back and does it again. [applause] >> thank you. >> he spent half a century working for him. >> members of congress, i have the high privilege and the distinct honor to present to you, the president of the united states. >> mister speaker, thank you. you can smile. [applause] thank you, thank you very much. mister speaker, madam vice president, a first lady and second gentlemen, it's good to see you guys up there. members of congress, -- [applause] i might need a court order, she gets to go to the game tomorrow, next week. i'm going to have to stay home. after work something out here. >> members of the cabinet, leaders of the military, chief justice associate justice, and retired justice of the free court, into, my fellow americans, a start tonight by congratulating the 118th congress, the newest speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. speaker, i don't want to ruin your reputation, but i look forward to working with you. [laughter] and i want to congratulate the new leader of the house democrats, the first african american minority leader in history, hakeem jeffries. he won despite the fact i campaigned for him. congratulations to the longest serving leader in this history of the united states senate, mitch mcconnell, where are you, mitch? and congratulations to chuck schumer, another term in the senate, i think that you -- this time you have a slightly bigger majority, mister leader. is it that much bigger? i tell you what, i want to give special recognition to somebody who i think will be considered the greatest speaker in the speaker of the house, speaker nancy pelosi. [applause] the story of america is a story of progress and resilience. always going forward, never giving up. it's a story unique among other nations, we are the only country that has emerged from every crisis that we have ever stronger then we got into it. folks, that's what we're doing again. two years ago, the economy was in ruins. i stand here tonight, with what we have created with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs, more jobs created in two years than any president has created in four years, because if you all. two years ago, businesses had been shut down by covid, but today, covid no longer controls our lives. two years ago, democracy faced its greatest threat to the civil war, and today, the greatest, our democracy remains on bowed and unbroken. [applause] as we gather here tonight, we are writing the next chapter of the great american story, a story of progress and resilience. when leaders ask me to define america, they do, believe it or not. i said, i can define it in one word, and i mean this, possibilities. we don't think that anything is beyond the capacity. everything is a possibility. we are often told the democrats and republicans cannot work together. over the past two years, we've improved, and prove them wrong. yes, we have disagreed plenty, and yes, there are times the democrats went alone. but time and time again, democrats and republicans came together. they came together stronger and safer. they came together in the past one in a generation infrastructure law, building bridges connecting our nation and our people. we came together to pass most significant law ever, helping victims exposed to talk to burn pits. it was important. i signed over 300 bipartisan pieces of legislation since becoming president, the electoral count reform act. the respect of marriage act, and for my republican friends, we can work together, if we could work together in the last congress, there is no reason that we can find consented on important things in this congress as well. [applause] folks, all as informed as i am, but the people sent a clear message. fighting for the sake of fighting, power for the sake of conflict, it gets us nowhere. that's always been my vision of our country, and so to restore the soul of this nation, rebuilding the backbone of america, america's middle class, and uniting the country. we've been sent here to finish the job, in my view, for decades the middle class had been hollowed out, and did not know one administration, but for a long time too many good paying manufacturing jobs -- factories closing down, once thriving cities and towns that many people represent, and they became shadows what they used to be. along the way, something else that we lost, pride. our sense of self-worth, also changing things, making sure the economy works well, so we can all feel that pride and what we do. to build an economy from the bottom of, not from the top down. when the middle class does well, the wealthy still do very well. you all do well. [applause] i know a lot of you always came here, but my dad used to say, joe, your job is about a lot more than a paycheck. he would really say this. it's about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your dignity, it's about respect, it's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, honey, it's going to be okay. and you can mean it. folks, let's look at the results. we're not finished yet, not by any stretch of the imagination. the unemployment rate is a 3.4%, a 15-year low. a near record. a near record unemployment. a near record unemployment, for black and hispanic workers. we've already created their help, 800,000 good paying manufacturing jobs. the fastest growth in 30 years. where is it written that america cannot leave the world of manufacturing? i don't know where that is written. for too many decades, we've imported projects and exported jobs. now thanks to what you've all done, exporting american products, and creating american jobs. inflation, it's been a global problem because the pandemic disrupted our supply chains. putin's unfair and brutal war in ukraine disrupted energy supplies, as well as food supplies. blocking all of that green in ukraine bergeron -- but inflation is coming down at home. down $1.50 from their peak. food inflation is coming down, inflation falling every month for the last six months. take home pay has gone up. additionally, over the last two years, 10 million americans applied to start new businesses. 10 million. by the way, every time, every time somebody starts a small business is an act of hope. madam vice president, i want to thank you for leading that effort to ensure the small businesses have access to capital, and the historic laws enacted that are going to come into this. standing here last year, i shared with you a story of american genius and possibilities. semiconductors, small computer chips the size of a fingerprint. a power everything from cell phones, automobiles, and so much more. these chips were invented in america, let's get that straight, they were invented in america. we lost our edge, we're down to producing 10%. we all saw what happened during the pandemic when chip factories shut down overseas. today's automobiles, 3000 chips with each of those automobiles. american automobiles could not make enough cars, because there were two enough ships. car prices went up, people got laid off, started everything from refrigerators to cell phones. we can never let that happen again, that's why we came together, that's what where the bipartisan chips act comes in. folks, i know i've been criticized for saying this, but i am not changing my view. we are going to make sure that the supply chain for america begins in america. the supply chain begins in america. we've already created 800,000 new manufacturing jobs without this law, before the law kicks in. with the new law, paying hundreds of thousands of new jobs across the country. i mean all across the country. throughout not just the coast, but through the middle of the country as well. that's going to come from companies that have announced more than 300 billion dollar in investments into american manufacturing over the last few years. outside of columbus, ohio, intel is bringing a semiconductor factory. 1000 acres, literally a field of dreams, and will create 10,000 jobs with that one investment. 7000 construction jobs, 3000 jobs in those factories once they're finished. jobs paying an average of $130,000 a year, and many don't require a college degree. jobs, because we work together, these jobs where people did not have to leave home to search for opportunity. it's just getting started. think about the new homes, the small businesses, the big and medium sized businesses. so much more that's going to be needed to be supporting those 3000 permanent jobs. the factories are going to be built. talk to governors, democrats and republicans, and they will tell you what this means for those communities. they're seeing these filmed -- transformed in the heartland, but to maintain the strongest economy in the world, we need to do the best infrastructure in the world. [applause] as you all know, we used to be number one in the world infrastructure. we've sunk to 13th in the world. the united states of america, 13th in the world in infrastructure! but now we are coming back. because we came together and passed the bipartisan infrastructure law. the largest investment in infrastructure since president eisenhower! [applause] and folks, already we have funded over 20,000 projects, including major airports in boston, atlanta, portland, projects that are going to put thousands of people to work rebuilding highways and bridges, railroads, tunnels, ports, airports, clean water, heightened internet, all across america. urban, rural, tribal. and folks, we are just getting started. we are just getting started. [applause] and i mean this sincerely, i want to thank my republican friends who voted for the law. and by republican friends who voted against it as well. but i am still getting asked to fund the projects in those districts as well, but don't worry, i promised i would be a president for all americans. we will fund these projects. i will see you at the groundbreaking! [applause] look, this law, this law will further unite all of america. projects like the bridge in kentucky, over the river. bill 60 years ago, needing the repairs, one of the most congested truck freight routes, carrying two billion dollars every single day across the river. and folks, we've been talking about fixing it for decades. we are really finally going to get it done. i went there last month, with democrats and republicans from both states. we delivered a commitment of 1.6 billion dollars for this project. while i was there, i met a young woman named sarah, who is here tonight, i'm not sure where she is. is she up in the box, i'm not sure. sarah, how are you? sarah, for 30 years, for 30 years she told me that she had been a proud member of the local 44, known as the cowboys in the sky. the folks that have built cincinnati's skyline. saria said she can't wait to be ten stories above the ohio river building that new bridge, god bless her. that is private! and that's what we're also building, rebuilding back pride. we are also replacing poisonous lead pipes going into 10 million homes in america. 400,000 school and childcare centers, and so every child of america, every child in america with drinking water, instead of having permanent damage to their brain. look, we are making sure, we are making sure that every community, every community in america has access to affordable high-speed internet. no parents should have to drive by the mcdonald's parking lot to do their homework online with their kids. many thousands were doing across the country. when we do these projects, and again i get criticized for this, we are going to buy american. we are going to buy american. [applause] it is totally consistent with international trade pools. by american has been the law since 1933, but for too long, past administrations, democrat and republican have fought to get around it. not anymore. tonight, i am announcing new standards requiring all construction materials, using federal infrastructure projects to be made in america. made in america! i mean it. lumber, glass, dry wall, fiber optic cable, and on my watch, american roads and american bridges will be made with american products as well. folks, economic plans about adjusting inflation for people that have been forgotten. so many of you listening tonight, i know you feel it. so many of you feel like you had simply forgotten, the people of the past four decades. too many people have been left behind. they've been treated like they're invisible. maybe that is you watching from home. remember, the jobs that went away, you remember them, don't you? the folks at home remember them. you wonder whether the path even exists anymore for your children to get ahead. without having to move away. that is why, and i get that, that is why we are building an economy where nobody is left behind. jobs are coming back. pride is coming back. choices that we have made in the last several years, this is my view of blue-collar, blue america. making a real difference in their lives. for example, too many of you, laying in bed tonight like my dad did, staring at the ceiling and wondering what in god's name happens if your spouse good spin cancer. or your child gets deadly ill, or something happens to you. what are you going to do? you don't have the money to pay for those medical bills. are you going to have to sell the house, or try to get a second mortgage on it? i get it. i do get it. with the inflation reduction act, that i signed into law, we are taking on powerful infrastructure to bring health care costs down, so that you can split sleep better tonight, with more security. we pay more for prescription drugs than any other nation in the world. let me say it again. we pay more for prescription drugs and then any major nation on earth. for example, one in ten americans has diabetes. many of you in this chamber do. and in the audience. every day, millions need insulin to take control of their debuts, so they can literally stay alive. this is been around for over 100 years. the guy that invented it did not patented because he wanted it to be available. it cost the drug companies roughly $10 a vial to make that insulin. packaged, you might get up to $13, but big pharma, they are unfairly charging people hundreds of dollars, 40 $500 a month. that makes record profits. not anymore. not anymore. [applause] not anymore. >> [applause] >> so many things that we did are now only coming to fruition. we said we were doing this and we said we passed a lot to do it. people did not know because the law did not take effect until january 1 of this year. we kept the cost of insulin at $35 a month for -- >> [applause] if -- >> if people are just finding out -- i'm sure you are getting the same calls i am getting. look, there are millions of other americans who are not on medicare, including 200,000 young people with type one diabetes, that need this insulin to stay alive. let's finish the job this time. let's cap the cost of insulin for everybody at $35. >> [applause] >> folks, big pharma is still going to do very well, i promise you. they are going to do very well, i promise you. -- on the 2025 -- it costs out of pocket drug costs for seniors on medicare and a maximum of $2,000 a year. you don't have to pay more than $2,000 -- no matter how much your drug costs are. because, you know why? you will know it. many of you, like many in my family, have cancer. you know the drugs can range from ten, 11, 15, $14,000 for the cancer drugs. and if drug prices rise faster than inflation, drug companies are going to have to pay medicare back the difference. >> [applause] >> we are finally giving medicare the power to negotiate drug traces prices, bringing down prescription drug costs doesn't just save seniors money. it cuts the federal deficit by billions of dollars. that's by hundreds of billions of dollars. -- prescription drugs are drugs purchased by medicare to keep the commitment for the seniors. well, guess what. instead of paying 400 or $500 a month, that's a lot of -- and that's and -- members here are threatening. it's not an official party position. i'm not going to exaggerate it. but -- inflation reduction act. as my coach -- that's okay. that is fair. as my football coach used to say, lots of luck in your senior year. make no mistake. if you try anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, i will veto it! >> [applause] >> look, i am pleased to say, that more americans have health insurance than ever in history. a record 16 million people enrolled in the affordable care act. and that's thanks to the law i signed last year, saving millions, saving $100 a year in the premiums. by the way, that law was written. and the benefit expires in 2025. so, my plea to some of you, at least, in this audience, let's finish the job and make the savings permanent. expand coverage of medicaid. >> [applause] >> look -- the inflation reduction act is also the most significant investment ever and climate change -- ever. >> [applause] >> lower utility bills, creating their jobs, creating a world with their clean energy future. i visited the devastating aftermath of devastating storms, floods, and wildfires, from new mexico all the way up to the canadian border. more timber has been burned then i've -- entire state of missouri. and we don't have global warming. it's not a problem. in addition to emergency recovery from puerto rico to florida to idaho, we will be building for the long term. new electric grids -- those forest fires. roads and water systems will stay in the next big flood. clean energy to cut pollution and create jobs and communities often left behind. we are going to build 500,000 electrically a culture are just a shuns installed that will cost the country tens of thousands. and we are hoping families save 100,000 -- efficient appliances, energy efficient appliances. historic conservation efforts to responsible stewards overland. let's face reality. the climate crisis does not care if you are in a red or blue state. it's an existential threat. we have an obligation, not to ourselves, but to our children and grandchildren to confront the. i'm proud of how americas it last up to the challenge. we are still going to need oil in gas for a while. they asked what. we do. >> [applause] >> but there's so much more to do. we have got to finish the job. we pay for these investments in a future by finally making the wealthiest and biggest corporations begin to pay their fair share. >> just begin -- >> -- i'm a capitalist. i'm a capitalist. what payer share. i think of lot of you at home -- a lot of you agree with me, and many people that you know -- the tax system is not fair. it is not fair. >> [applause] >> look, the idea that in 2020, 55 of the largest corporations in america, the fortune 500, made 40 billion dollars in profits and paid zero in federal taxes? and zero? folks, it is simply not fair. but now, because of the law signed, billion dollar companies have to pay minimum of 15%. god love them. 15%. that's less than a nurse pays. >> [applause] >> -- i said at the very beginning, under my plans, as long as i'm president, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in taxes. nobody, not one penny. but let's finish the job. there is more to do. we have to reward work, not just wealth. pass my proposal for the billionaire minimum tax. there is 1000 billionaires in america. it's up from about 600 at the beginning of the term. -- techs teach -- firefighter. i mean it. think about it. >> [applause] >> i mean, look -- i mean on tlc bout that. but think about it. think about. having noticed -- record profits. last year they made 200 billion dollars in the midst of a global energy crisis. i think it is outrageous. why? we invested 2 million little of that profit -- and when i talked to a couple of them, we say, i'm afraid you're going to shut down all the oil wasn't all the over final reason away, so why do should we invest in them? i say, we are going to need oil fairly snow the decade. and we are not going to exceed -- >> [laughter] >> -- production. they had in fact invested in production to keep gas prices down, in fact, instead, ease their record profits to buyback on staff, rewarding ceos and shareholders. corporations ought to do the right thing. that is why i proposed we quadrupled tax on corporate stock buybacks and encourage long term investments. >> [applause] >> we will still my considerable profit. . let's finish the job and close a loophole that allows very wealthy to avoid paying the taxes, instead of cutting the number -- i just signed -- 114 billion dollars by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats. that is being fiscally responsible. in the last two years, my administration has got the deficit by more than 1.7 trillion dollars. it's the largest deficit reduction in american history. and under the previous administration, the american deficit went over -- but because of those record deficits, no president added more to the national debt and -- four years of my predecessor. nearly 25% of the entire national death that took over a 200 years to accumulate was added by just one administration alone, last one. they are the facts. check it out. check it out. how did congress respond at? day they did the right thing. they lifted the debt ceiling three times without preconditions a crisis. they paid the american bill to prevent an economic disaster in the country. so, tonight i'm asking the congress to follow suit. let's commit here tonight to the full faith and credit of the united states of america will never, ever be questioned. some of my republican friends want to take the economy hostage. i get it. that's a masai agreed to their economic plans. all of you at home should know what those plans are. instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans -- some republicans -- want medicare and social security to sunset. i'm not saying it's a majority -- >> -- >> anybody who doubts it -- i will give you a copy. i will give you a copy of my proposal. that means congress doesn't vote -- the >> -- >> i tell you, i enjoy conversion. it means -- if congress does not keep the programs the way they are, they go the way other republican say -- i'm not saying it's a majority of you. i'm not even saying it's significant -- it's being proposed by individuals. i'm politely not naming them. but it's being proposed by some of you. >> oh! oh! >> -- the idea is, we are not going to be moved, to be threatened to default on the debt if we don't respond. >> [applause] >> so, folks, as we all apparently agree, social security and medicare is off the books now, right? -- all right. >> [applause] >> we have got unanimity! social security and medicare are a lifeline for millions of seniors. americans have to pay into them from the very first paycheck a start. so, tonight, let's all agree -- and we apparently are -- let's stand up for seniors. stand up and show them, we will not cut social security! we will not cut medicare! those benefits belong to the american people. they earned it. and if anyone tries to cut social security -- which, apparently, no one is going to do -- and if anyone tries to cut medicare, i will stop them. i will veto it. i'm not going to allow them to take away -- be taken away, not today, not tomorrow, not everywhere. but apparently, it's not going to be a problem. next month, when i offer my fiscal plan, i asked my republican went to lay down their plan as well. i really mean it. let's sit down together and discuss our mutual plans together. let's do that. >> [applause] >> i can tell you, the plan i'm going to cher's -- single bit of medicare or social security. in fact, we are going to extend the medicare trust fund at least two decades. that's going to be the next -- how do we keep it solvent, right? well, we will not raise taxes on anyone making under 400 grand. but we will pay for it in the way we talked about, making sure the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share. look, look -- here is the deal. they are not just taking advantage of the tax code. they are taking advantage of you, the american consumer. here's my message, to all of you out there. i have your back. we are already preventing americans -- receiving surprise medical bills, stopping one billion dollars in surprise medical bills a month so far. we are protecting seniors life savings by cracking down on nursing homes that commit fraud, and major paints and safety, prescribed drugs that are not needed. millions of americans can now save thousands of dollars because it can finally get them hearing aid over the counter without a prescription. look -- >> [applause] >> -- competition is not capitalism. it's extortion. it's exploitation. last year, i crack down, on however many of you, on foreign shipping companies, making you pay higher prices for every -- i signed a bipartisan bill that cut shipping costs by 90%, helping american farmers, businessmen and consumers. let's finish the job. pass the bipartisan legislation to strengthen anti inform enforcement and prevent big online platforms from bringing their own products -- i line affairs. >> [applause] >> by administration is also taking on junk fees. it's those hidden surcharges companies to make you pay more. for example, we are making airlines show you the full ticket price up front, we find your money if your flight is canceled or delayed. we reduced exorbitant bank overdraft by saving consumers more than one billion dollars a year. we are cutting credit card late feelers fees by 75%, from $30 to $8. look -- junk fees may not matter to the very wealthy. but they matter to most of the -- ad up to 100 hundreds of dollars a month and make it harder for you to pay your bills and for that family trip. i know how unfair feels when a company overcharges you and gets away with the. not anymore. we have written a bill to stop at all. it's called the junk the protection prevention act. we are going to ban precise surprise resort fees. -- those fees in cost you two -- are not even resorts. the idea that cable, internet and cell phone companies can charge you 200 or more if you decide to switch another provider, give me a break. we can stop service fees on tickets and concerts and sporting events and make companies disclose all fees upfront. and we will prohibit airlines from charging $50 round trip from family just to be able to sit together. baggage fees are bad enough. airlines can't treat your child like a piece of baggage. americans are tired of being -- we are tired of being played for suckers. so, pass the junk the prevention act, so company stopped ripping us off. for too long, workers have been getting stiff to. but not anymore. we are beginning to restore the dignity of work. for example, i should have known this -- two years ago. 30 million workers have to sign noncompete agreements for the jobs they take. 30. so, cashier at a burger place cannot walk across town and take the same -- it just changed. we just change it. because they expose the. that was part of the deal, guys. look it up. but not anymore. we are banning those agreements. so, companies have to compete for workers and paid and what they are worth. >> [applause] >> and i must tell you -- this is bound to get a response from my friends on my left, but the right. i am so sick and tired of companies breaking the law about preventing workers from organizing. that's the pro-act! it is -- business have a right -- workers have a right to form a union. and let's guarantee all workers have a living wage. let's make sure working parents can afford to raise a family with sick days, paid family and medical leave, affordable childcare. that will enable millions more people to go and stay to work. let's restore the full child tax credit, which gave tens of millions of parents some breathing room and cut child poverty in half almost to the lowest levels in history. by the way, when we do all these things, we increase productivity, we increase economic growth. so, let's finish the job and give more families access to affordable quality housing. let's get seniors that want to stay in their homes the care they need to do so. let's give more breathing room to millions of family caregivers looking after their loved ones. that's my plan so we get seniors and people with disabilities to home care and services they need. and support the workers who are doing gods work. >> [applause] >> these plans are fully paid for. and we can afford to do them. restoring the dignity of work means giving education and affordable ticket to the middle class. when we made public education -- 12 years of it -- universal, in the last century, we made the best educated -- we became the best educated, best pay nation in the world. but the rest of the world caught up. it caught up. jill, my wife, who teaches full-time, as an expression. i hope i get it right, good. any nation that out educates us is going to outcompete us. any nation that out educates us is going to out-compete us. folks, we all know 12 years of education is not enough to win the economic competition of the 21st century. we want to have the best educated workforce. let's finish the job by providing access to preschool for three and four-year-olds. studies show that children who go to preschooler nearly 50% more likely to go to high school and earn a two or four year degree, no matter the background they came from. let's give public school teachers a raise. >> [applause] >> we are making progress by reducing student debt, an increasing pell grants, for working middle class families. let's finish the job. we connect students to career opportunity starting in high school, provide access to two years of community college. the best career training in america, in addition to being the pathway to a four-year degree. let's offer every american a pathway -- whether they go to college or not. and folks -- folks, in the midst of the covid crisis, when schools were closed, and we were shutting down everything, let's recognize how far we came in the fight against pandemic itself. while the virus is not gone, thanks to the -- of the american people, and the ingenuity of medicine -- covid deaths are down by 19%. we have saved millions of lives and opened up we -- opened our country back up. and soon we will in the public health emergency. that's called a public health emergency. but we will member the toll and pain that is never going to go away. more than 1 million americans lost their lives to covid, 1 million. families grieving. children orphaned -- empty chairs at the dining room table constantly reminding you that she used to sit there. we remember them. we remain vigilant. we still need to monitor the dozens of variants and support new vaccines and treatments. so, congress needs to fund these efforts and keep america safe. and as we emerge from this crisis stronger, we have also got to double down on prosecuting criminals who stole relief money meant to keep workers and businesses afloat. >> [applause] >> before i came to office, you remember, my campaign, the big issue was about specter inspector generals, who would protect taxpayer dial dollars on the sideline. they were fired. many people said we don't need them. and fraud became rampant. last year, i told you the watchdogs are back. since then, we have recovered billions of taxpayers ' dollars. now let's triple the heavy fraud strikeforce going after these criminals -- and crackdown on identity fraud by criminal syndicates stealing billions of dollars -- billions of dollars -- from the american people. >> [applause] >> the data shows that for every dollar we put into finding fraud, the taxpayers get back ten times as much. it matters. it matters. look, covid left its cars, like the spike in violent crime in 2020, the first year of the pandemic. we have an obligation to make sure that all people are safe. public safety depends on public trust, as all of us know. but too often, that trust is violated. joining us tonight how the parents of tyre nichols. welcome. >> [applause] >> you had to bury tyre nichols last week. and as many of you personally know, there is no words to describe the heartache or grief of losing a child. but imagine -- imagine if you lost that child to the hands of the law. imagine having to worry whether your son or daughter came home from walking down the street, playing in the park or just driving a car. most of us in here have never had to have the top. the top that brown and black parents have had to ted with their children. bo, ashlyn, hunter, my children -- i never had to -- turn your interior lights on right away. don't reach for your license. keep your hands on the steering wheel. imagine having to worry like that every single time. your kid got in the car -- here is what tyre's mother shared with me when i spoke to her, when i asked her how she finds the courage to carry on and speak out. with the faith of god, she said her son was, quote, a beautiful soul, and something good will come of this. imagine how much courage and care that takes. it is up to us, to all of us. we all want the same thing. neighbors free of violence. law enforcement who earns the communities truss trust. -- able to go home at night, so does everybody else have their. >> [applause] >> but children have a right to come home safely. equal protection under the law is a covenant we have with each other in america. we know -- officers put their lives on the line every single day. and we know we asked them in many cases to do too much -- to be counselor, social workers, psychologists, responding to drug overdoses, mental health crises and so much more. in one sense, we ask much too much of them. i know most cops and their families are good, decent, honorable people, the vast majority. >> [applause] >> -- that they risk -- >> [applause] >> and they risk their life lives every time they put that shield on. but how what happened to tyre in memphis happens far too often. we have to do better. give law enforcement the real training they need. hold them to higher standards. help them succeed and keep them safe. we also need more first responders and professionals to address the growing mental health and substance abuse challenges. more resources to reduce violent crime and gun crime. more community intervention programs. more investment in housing, education, and jobs. all this can help prevent violence in the first place. but -- violate the public trust and they must be held accountable. >> [applause] with the support of the families, the victims, civil rights group and law enforcement, i signed an executive order for all federal officers, banning chokeholds, restricting no knock warrants and other key elements of the george floyd act. let's commit ourselves to make the words of tyre's mom true. something good must come from this. something good -- >> [applause] >> and all of us -- all of us -- folks, it's difficult. but it's simple. all of us in this chamber, we need to rise to this moment. we can't turn away. let's do what we know in our hearts. we need to do -- let's come together to finish the job on police reform. do something. do something. that was the plea of parents who lost their children in uvalde. i met with every one of them. do something about gun violence. thank god -- thank god we did. d -- >> [applause] >> -- passing the most sweeping gun safety law in two decades. that includes things that the majority of responsible gun owners already support. enhanced background checks for 18 to 21-year-olds -- red flag laws keeping guns out of the hands of people who are danger to themselves and others. but we know our work is not done. joining us tonight is brandon, a 26-year-old hero. brandon tsay put his college dreams on hold to be at his mom side, his mom side when she was dying from cancer. >> [applause] >> and brandon tsay now works at an advance studio started by his grandparents. two weeks ago, during lunar new year celebrations, he heard the studio door close, and he saw a man standing there, pointing a semiautomatic pistol at him. he thought he was going to die. but he thought about the people inside. and in that instant, he found the courage to act and he wrestled a semiautomatic pistol away from the gunman, who had already killed 11 people in another dance studio. 11. he saved lives. it's time we do the same. ban assault weapons, now! banned them, now! once and for all. >> [applause] >> -- fight to do that, in 1994! in ten years, that ban was law, mass shootings went down. and they landed expire in a republican administrating administration -- let's finish the job and banned these weapons. let's also come together on immigration and make it a bipartisan issue once again. >> [applause] >> we know we now have a record number of personnel working to secure the border, arresting 1000 human smugglers, seizing over 23,000 pounds of fentanyl in just the last seven months. we have launched a new border planned last month, unlawful migration from cuba, haiti, nicaragua and venezuela has come down 97% as a consequence of that. but american border problems won't be fixing fixed until congress acts. if we don't pass my comprehensive immigration reform, at least pass my plan to provide the equipment and officers to secure the border. >> [applause] >> and a pathway to citizenship for dreamers -- those with temporary status, farm workers, essential workers. here in the peoples house -- and so, our duty to protect all the people's rights and freedoms. congress must restore the right -- >> [inaudible] >> order, order! >> congress must restore the right that was taken away in roe v. wade and protect roe v. wade. >> [applause] >> the vice president and i are doing everything to make access to reproductive health care and safeguard patients patient safety -- but already, more than two dozen states are reinforcing extreme abortion manse. make no mistake about it. if congress passes a national ban, i will veto it. >> [applause] >> but let's also pass -- lets also pass the bipartisan equality act, to ensure lgbtq americans, especially transgender young people, can live with safety and dignity. our strength -- our strength is not just the example of our power, by the power of our example. let's remember the world is watching. i spoke from this chamber one year ago, just days after vladimir putin unleashed his brutal attack against ukraine. a murderous assault, evoking images of death and destruction. europe suffered in world war ii. putin's invasion has been a test for the ages, a test for america, a test for the world. what we stand for the most basic of principles? what we stand for sovereignty? what we stand for the right of people to live free of tyranny? where we stand for the defense of democracy? >> -- >> matters to us because it keeps piece and prevents open season on would-be aggressors and threatens our prosperity. >> [applause] >> one year later, we know the answer. yes we would, and we did. we did! and together, we did what america always does at our best. we lead. we united nato. we built a global coalition. we stood against putin's aggression and we stood with the ukrainian people to unite and we are once again joined by the ukrainians ambassador to the united states. she represents not the courage of our -- support of our country. so we can all take a look at you -- thank you. >> [applause] >> we are going to stand with you as long as it takes. our nation is working for more freedom and more dignity and more peace, not just in europe but it everywhere. before i came to office, our story was about how the people's republic of china was increasing its power. and america was failing in the world. not anymore. we made clear -- and i made clear, in my personal conversations, which have been many, with president xi -- to make america stronger and investing in american innovation -- to find the future that china intends to be dominating. investing in our alliances and working with our allied allies to protect advance technology so they will not be used against us. modernizing our military to safeguard stability and deter aggression. today, we are in the strongest position in decades, to compete with china or anyone else in the world -- anywhere else in the world. >> [applause] >> and i'm committed -- i'm committed to work with china where we can advance american interests and benefit the world. but make no mistake about it. as we made clear last week, if china threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. and we did. >> [crowd cheering] >> [applause] >> look, let's be clear. a competition should unite all of us. we face serious challenges across the world. but in the past two years, democracies have become stronger, not weaker. autocracies have gotten weaker, not stronger. -- world leader who would change places with xi jinping? name me one. namely one! america is rallying to meet those challenges, from climate climate -- allies are stepping up and spending more and doing more. look -- the bridges we -- and those in the atlantic. and those who bet against america are learning how wrong they are. it is has never, ever been a good bet to bet against america, ever. >> [applause] >> [crowd chanting] >> when i came to office, most assume that bipartisan -- was impossible. we never believed it. that's why a year go i offered a unity -- to the nation -- we made real progress together. we passed a law making it easy for doctors to prescribe effective treatments to the opioid addiction. we passed the gun safety law, making historic investments in mental health. we launched the arp of arpa-h drive -- alzheimer's, diabetes, and so much more. -- later rack war veteran who story about a exposure to toxic burn pits i shared here last year. >> [applause] >> i understand something about those burn pits. but there is so much more to do. we can do it together. joining us tonight is a father named dog, from newton, new hampshire. he wrote jill, my wife, a letter and me as well about his courageous daughter courtney. her contagious laugh, his sisters -- her sister's best friend. he shared a story ultimately familiar to millions of americans and many of you in the audience. courtney discovered pills in high school and spiraled into addiction. and eventually, death from a fentanyl overdose. she was just 20 years old. describing the last eight years without her, doug griffin said, there is no worse pain. yet, their family has turned pain to purpose, working to end the stigma and change laws. he told us he wants to start a journey toward american recovery. doug, we are with you. fentanyl is killing more than 70,000 americans a year. >> -- >> you got -- it >> china -- >> -- >> let's launch a major surge -- fentanyl production, sale and trafficking, with more -- stop pills and powder at the border. >> [applause] >> working with carriers like fedex to inspect more packages for drugs. -- fentanyl trafficking. second, let's see what mental health, especially for our children. but with millions of young people struggling with bullying, violence, trauma, we will have better access to mental health care at schools. -- social media companies accountable for experimenting and doing -- children for profit. and it's time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop big tech from collecting personal data on our kids and teenagers online. they -- targeting advertising to children and impose stricter limits on the personal data that companies collect on all of us. third, let's do more to keep this nations one fully sacred obligation, to equip those we send it to harm's way and care for them in their families when they come home. job training, job placement for veterans and their spouses as they return to civilian life, helping veterans afford the rent. because no one should be almost in america, especially someone who served the country. >> [applause] >> dennis mcdonough is here. we had a first, we list discussion, when i asked him to take the job. i'm glad he did. we were losing up to 25 veterans a day to suicide. now we are losing 17 a day to the silence courage of suicide. 17 veterans today are committing suicide, more than all the people being killed in the wars. folks, the va is doing everything it can, including expanding mental health screening, improving programs that recruit veterans, to help other veterans understand what they are going through, get them the help they need. we have got to do more. and fourth, last year, jaylen dai reignited the cancer moonshot that i was other -- administration on this issue. our goal is to cut the cancer death rates, at least by 50% in the next 25 years, returned more cancers from death sentences to treatable diseases, provide more support for patients and their families. -- so many of us -- so many of us in this audience. joining us are more's and -- an irishman and the daughter of immigrants from panama. they -- same chapel that jill and i did in new york city. kindred spirits. they wrote us a letter about his little daughter ava and i saw her just before i came over. she just four years old when she was diagnosed with a where disease, cancer. -- 11 rounds of radiation and eight rounds of chemo and one kidney removed and was given a 5% survival rate. -- she goes, i cannot say. many of you have been through that as well. i've learned to understand that like so many of you. and you read gilles's book describing our cancers families cancer -- and how we tried to steal moments of joy where we could for both. for them, that corner of joy was that smile of their baby girl. they admit everything to them. they never gave up hope. and little never gave up hope. she turns four next month. they just found out, ava is beating the odds and his on her way to -- she's watching from the white house tonight, if he's not asleep already. >> [applause] >> so, the lives we can save -- the lives we can save, the lives we've lost, let this be a truly american moment that rally the country in the world together and prove that we can still do big things. 20 years, ago under the leadership of president bush and countless advocates and champions, the undertook a bipartisan effort through pepfar to transform the global fight against hiv/aids. it's been a huge success. we fought big. we fought large. we moved. i believe we can do the same thing with cancer. >> [applause] >> let's end cancer as we know it. you are some cancers once and for all. folks, there is one reason why we have been able to do all these things. it's for democracy itself. it's the most fundamental thing of all. with democracy, everything is possible. without it, nothing is. the last few years, our democracy has been threatened an attack, to put at risk, but to the test in this very room on january the 6th. and then just a few months ago, an unhinged big lie, a -- unleashed home of the venn speaker of the house of representatives. using the very same language the insurrectionists use as they stop these halls and chanted on january 6th. here tonight in this chamber is a man who bears the scars of that brutal attack but is as tough and a strong as resilient as they get. my friend, paul pelosi. paul, standup. >> [applause] >> but such a heinous acts should never have happened. we must all -- no place for -- violence in america. we have to protect the right to vote, not suppress that fundamental right -- not to brett the will of the people. we have to uphold the rule of law and restore trust to our institutions of democracy. we must give hate and extremism in any form no safe harbor. >> [applause] >> democracy must not be a partisan issue. it is an american issue. every generation of american america has been called to protect our democracy, to defend, it stand up for it. and this is our moment. my fellow americans, we meet tonight at an inflection point. it's one of those moments that only a few generations ever faced, with a direction we now take that's going to decide the course of this nation for decades to come. we are not bystanders of history. we are not powerless before the forces that confront us. it is within our power of we the people. we are facing the test of our time. we have to be the nation we have always been at our best. optimistic, hopeful, forward-looking. the nation that embraces light over dark, hope over fear, unity over -- stability over chaos. we have to see each other, now there's enemies but as fellow americans. we are good people. only nation in the world built on an idea, the only one. >> [applause] >> -- other nations are defined by geography, ethnicity. but we are the only nation based on an idea, that all of us -- every one of us -- is created equal in the image of god. a nation that stands as a beacon of the world -- a nation in a new age of possibilities. so, i have come to fulfill my constitutional obligation, to report on the state of the union. and here is my report. because the soul of this nation is strong, because the back bone of this nation is strong, because the people of this nation are strong, the state of the union is strong! >> [applause] [applause] >> i am not new to this place. i stand here tonight, having served as long as about every one of you have served here. but i have never been more optimistic about our future, about the future of america. it's just to remember who we are. we have the united states of america! and there is nothing -- nothing beyond our capacity, if we do it together. godless you all and may god protect our troops. thank you. >> [applause] applause >> [applause] [applause] >> wow. we have heard rumors ahead of the state of the union address from president joe biden that this was a lengthy speech. we were settling in. this speech was long and word count. but it was delivered with a lot of energy and a lot of pace. and a combativeness and liveliness that i am not sure that we have ever seen in this particular type of presidential address. we had a number of instances in which it appeared to be -- our sense was that there were members of congress on the republican side who were shouting at him, heckling, at least responding to him, rather than him shutting that down or ignoring that or have it be sort of a crisis moment, instead took those opportunities to have the argument, to challenge them back, to bring the pace even further, to the fore. i think probably one of the most remarkable of those moments, -- halfway through in discussing first the debt and the deficit, and they need to raise the debt ceiling, and then ultimately whether or not social security and medicare will be threatened by the republican congress. he appeared to turn the heckling back on the republicans and sort of trick them into agreeing with him publicly that they would not do that. >> as you were remarking on that, it was a moment that reminded you a little bit not so much of a previous state of the union but of that moment during the obama presidency, when he went into the republican caucus meeting and had a back and forth with them. >> this was at the peak of the aca debate. you don't want to debate someone who is onstage, generally. you want to stay out of debates with the person that has the bully pulpit and has the on the microphone in the room -- the on the microphone. and i thought that was a truly -- a remarkable moment for a bunch of reasons. what was him kind of him rhetorically at his best. number two, i think you got a sense of what he would be like in the room in negotiations on the budget. he was kind of cutting, but you ocular at the same time. he was sort of joking about also getting consensus. it also showed -- and this was, i think, throughout the first two thirds of the speech. the agenda, on domestic policy that he has proposed and passed and he's proposing now, is broadly popular stuff. and he really just lead with that and stayed with that and wanted to keep putting their face. and when he, said some of you have proposed sunsetting medicare and social security, they got angry, because the truth of the matter is, some of them have propose that, including rick scott, who ran the democratic senate -- the republican senate campaign -- much to the chagrin of mitch mcconnell, as well as ron johnson. so, he squarely on the facts there. and i think you saw in that moment, he understands that he has 60 40 on his side in a bunch of issues particularly on this brass tacks kitchen table economic stuff that he dominate the speech with and it's more than happy to put republicans on the fence defense -- >> he said -- crazy in a way -- >> to stand up and show them we will not cut social security. then they start howling -- so, stand up then. stand up. it's brilliance speech craft, honestly. because it uses joe biden sort of natural, lighthearted pugnacious this, to his advantage and their disadvantage. -- rick scott not only propose sunsetting social security. he wrote it down in a -- plan for america to mitch mcconnell doubles mitch mcconnell's outrage -- don't write that down and publish it. he's like, no, i'm going to write go on fox news and defended. he said, fine. offer your plan. he starts with writhing with them. and as you said, chris, the -- and he held out stage. this was biden i think, at his best, in terms of a public performance. he was a little rowdy. right? he was a little fun he did his biden-ing -- including tyre nichols ' parents. but i feel like he baited them throughout. the parts were kevin mccarthy could not stand showed his weakness in the caucus. you could not stand up for democracy, for ukraine, things that would have, in the past, been solid republican issues. he could not stand up. it's remarkable. >> the part of the speech that got -- i think the other thing that is now forever changed is because maga has taken over the chamber. we now are going to see things like this. and i think it would rattle a different politician. not only was joe biden not rattled. it unleashed the ability to ad lib. because that's what the moment called for. not because he needed to find a space or sort of make a point in his sort of voice in his colloquialisms. but when they started -- also know now we're all the trigger points are for this gop. so, when they start of getting out of their seat and angsting and shouting, some of my republican friends want to take the economy hostage and unless i agree to their economic plans. all of you at home should know what they are. that's when we hear the first show. he says, instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some republicans want medicare and social security sunset every five years. -- he says, not all of you. they don't stop. >> [laughter] >> he culminates with, well, he goes, apparently it's not going to be a problem. -- it's almost like mission accomplished on page 12. >> the way that they started getting -- with the immediate paragraph before that when he said, the last two years, my administration is cut the deficit by more than 1.7 trillion dollars. under the previous administration, america's deficit went up four years in a row. we start getting grumbling from republicans. because of those record deficits, no president added more to the debt in any four years than my predecessor. more and more anger. at which point he says, look it up. look it up. look it up. and they are getting matter and lateral matter. it culminates, on the same page of that script in the next paragraph, the next point that he makes, in him getting them against their will to stand up and cheer for joe biden's assertion that no one is going to -- most social security or medicare. >> ever! >> -- it starts off with him saying, i'll veto it, and they're like, you won't have to! -- >> we all had a unifying moment. i have never seen anything like that in the state of the union or in any presidential -- >> -- single most confrontational state of the union address that we have ever seen. >> yes. >> and anyone who picked joe biden for that is quite a good guess or. i never would have predicted that this guy, who goes in, they are deliberately determined to do the opposite -- >> yes -- >> ends up delivering the most confrontational state of the union address ever and the confrontation was directly one-on-one with the person who is in a very strong competition for stupidest person in the room, and that's marjorie taylor greene. the camera found her, jumping up, individually, yelling at him when he was your citing rick scott's medicare social security proposal, which is, it expires every five years, and we think about it again. she's jumping up, yelling liar at him when he says that. and he engages with her and with that group of over there. and does something we have never seen before -- he negotiates the budget during the state of the union, on live tv. and he wins. and gets there, in effect, unanimous consent. i, mean this was the worst possible night for kevin mccarthy. the negotiation ended in that room with marjorie taylor greene yelling at a president who took her on, handled it right in front of mccarthy. and mccarthy, by the way -- there is an excellent -- kevin mccarthy that saying, no, no, no. every single time they did that -- >> he has, and trying to silence the members -- >> yes, trying to silence them every time -- >> -- the year is over for kevin mccarthy. he lost it right there in that moment. >> maybe i shouldn't know this -- it's a bit heavy. but she gets up and starts yelling in, like -- people were comparing it to the wife of a deposed russian oligarch or something. and she gets up and just starts pointing and making a spectacle. it's the opposite of what kevin mccarthy needed tonight. >> maybe he needed -- >> maybe it was cold -- >> -- biden understands the truth, which is mccarthy has no power in that caucus. he's along for the ride. and as much as he's going to say, not all of you, the reality is that the mad men are running the asylum. at the very end of the speech, biden is making a sort of -- in some ways, platitudes -- to what democracy means. and there is no place for political violence in america. in america, we must protect the right to vote, not suppress the fundamental right. we honor the results of our elections, not subvert the will of the people. there is a season in which this is stating the obvious. and yet half of this room did not get up. mccarthy, the best government kathy could do was applaud from his seat. you are saying, talking about, as it was happening, his republican party does not want to recognize democracy works, there is not want to take subverting the will of the people off the table. that's the reality. and that's why, in the most high stakes negotiation of the moment, joe biden is talking to marjorie taylor greene. >> i will say, in terms of logistically, what's happened here, we are watching the president in the room, continuing to have some quite detail conversations with lots of people that were there to see the speech. we expect that the republican response to the president state of the union will happen five minutes after president biden leaves the chamber. but any bets on how long it is going to take them to leave the chamber? he's taking it even sweeter time of it then he did on the way in. we see kevin mccarthy back to the day a day is, hanging out. -- what >> happened? >> they will have to gavel out the session, presumably, at the end of it. i will say that the end of the speech, structurally. and lawrence, i take your point, absolutely, on how confrontational this was. but he starts the speech with a congratulations to this congress, and to give mccarthy, the new speaker of the house. and he also congratulates hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer, he goes out of his way to give kevin mccarthy first, to congratulate senator mcconnell and his longevity as a senate leader. he ends with a shutout for george shelby bush's global aids program. and that's why the lead singer from you to, bono, was there, to celebrate the success of pepfar, which is -- lasting legacy. he, throughout, is willing to not only talk about the ideal of bipartisanship, but praise every bipartisan aspect of everything that he has been able to do as president. and while giving the republicans that much love, he also absolutely pins them down like a butterfly butterfly under glass on the substantive thing he needs them to, so they won't crash the economy, by holding that particular -- >> yeah, and there is a standard play for. this when the president is up, they're saying the single thing that embarrasses your party the most, which is usually something that has been said by one or two or five members of your party, he just sit there silently, it's going to go by really fast. >> yes. >> you just sit there silently. this party, with marjorie taylor greene leaving them, we want to really emphasize what you just said about one of our ideas and they are going to emphasize it by denying it. every media outlet except the propagandist will, tomorrow the saying, yes, this is a republican idea. biden was right. and then biden engages in it brilliantly in that situation. and that is where experience matters. that took all the experience in the world. and his comfort in that room and the fact that he is not out of that room but he loved that room so much. and it's the slowest exit of any president ever. because he loves being there. and that great that he had, that poison control that he had in that moment, it just changed what is going to happen this year. >> and also, wilts -- it's the first time he engages -- he's in the fentanyl section. it culminates in the border. and -- they didn't stop after that engagement. -- and so he is ready for it. he's turned around and engaging her. kevin mccarthy's club training his next to look at god knows what. >> he's trying to get them to stop -- mccarthy is kind of the referee. he's the guy here who is telling you and showing you on his face that this is how harmful this is for us. what she's doing out there, to this president, this is how harmful it is to -- us >> -- what about the argument that went into this -- it's that there is a lot of anxiety in the democratic sort of political world about biden's age. he shattered that tonight. he's obviously -- his experience -- it's similar to what nancy pelosi is able to do. there's certain things that an experienced politician can do to your point, lawrence, that in experienced politician, even like kevin mccarthy, who's been around a long time, but is obviously not as ready for primetime, as joe biden -- joe biden, who's done these negotiations at a high level of the united states under, and a committee chairman, just knows everyone, have those people in the room, he knew how to please mitch mcconnell apart from marjorie taylor greene and cleave into the audience. he kept saying, i get it. he kept talking to the audience, bringing the audience in, when he is essentially saying, if you are a republican who things more like a mitt romney or a mitch mcconnell, you can leave those cuckoos behind. let them -- the lady in the four is not your people. i am your people. if you are at all moderate, if you are at all -- and you have a normal political -- he would add things like -- fees for airlines, fees for hotels. he's like, we are going to stop all that. the american people, he said, are tired of getting suckered. that sounds like what trump said when he ran. he saying, we are not going to let them sucker you anymore. anyone who has a normal desire to see politics protect you from corporations who steal from you, from people who are shocking drug therapies you can't afford your kid, you are with us. marjorie taylor greene and them who are screaming? they are over there. he set them aside and set them apart. i thought it was brilliant. >> you alsom saw in the sheer structure of the speech, two thirds of the speech was on this stuff. it was on brass tacks. the agenda -- the bipartisan bill, the chips act, job creation, junk fees, all the sort -- of >> 130,000 dollar jobs for which you do not need a four year college degree -- >> all this other stuff, and i will say, this is stuff i was shocked by. abortion got three lines. roe v. wade got overturned last year. now if you are joe biden, you will think -- i'm going to say that i am going to veto a national abortion ban. but it is a zero sum game. and making choices about what you emphasize and what you don't. and what you saw was, that was the lead of the speech. it was that kind of middle class political economy, economic agenda stuff. and everything else, which is in the back half of the speech, half the pivot, including ukraine, including lgbtq rights, including abortion, including immigration. that just got very little. and that's a choice they are making about where they are strongest with this audience -- >> he did spend a lot of time, though, with tyre nichols family, which i thought was a really strong point in the speech. >> it was subtle. it was subtle. >> and his interaction -- >> a lot more time -- >> a lot more time, right? -- i thought what he said was really smart. if you are someone who is frustrated that there has not been more action on police reform, he did not get up there and say that normal democratic talking points. we need to fund the police. mark give them more money. he did say the training line which was a bit tired and a sort of standard in the discussion of it. but he said, we need to have police earn the trust of the community. he recounted the talk that black folk, all of us, gave us -- terrified -- >> -- a little bit -- >> absolutely. the empathy was there for the victims of police violence. and he did not say, we are going to fund the police more. he said, we are going to fund communities. we are going to fund community programs. we're going to make sure there's less crime in these neighborhoods. he talked about funding the people. i think that will resonate with folks who have been very skeptical that joe biden, the working class cop friend democrat will actually have passion for police reform. >> it was also interesting too -- i will say, well i love the state of the union as much of the next door, i have found that over the years, the use of regular people as props to make points in the speech, i find to be cynical and it bothers me. when he got to this part of the speech with tyre nichols ' mother and father, and he singled him out and he just said, welcome. and there was this quiet moment where they were acknowledged in the room. but then he stayed with that story of their son. and they stayed with the topic. and he went back to them again and again. and he kept looking back at them. and he stayed with that story and he talked about -- he quoted her. he said that we should respond to her, to his mother. it was the opposite of the person being there. >> absolutely. >> and that, actually, i think, was structurally unique in terms of the way presidents -- i find it very moving. but to spend -- to have somebody there -- yeah, there's going to be a bunch of people. and you tag them in order to make a point. i got it. it's okay to do that with bono. it's not okay to do that with a mother who has just lost their son. >> the difference between biden and a lot of these -- you know that he spent a lot of -- with that woman. you can feel that he has spent actual time with the people he invited, that he made a personal connection. because literal literally, that's what biden-ing is. >> there's this thing that he is trying to do. and you see the in the agenda. and joy, you mentioned this before. to the extent there was something in the trump critique of the post nafta neoliberal order, the hollowed out hounds, the fact that manufacturing went away, the fact that you used to be able to get a job without a college degree. and there was something to that part of the critique. the whole thing is to make real policies that actually address that, and to lead with the messaging on it. if you are an iron worker, and we are going to build a bridge, we are going to have these intel jobs that are not going to require a college degree. the whole way of trying to make the college -- about the -- parts of america in the post 1990s america economy, which is true, that's a true thing about the country -- it is so striking how on message they were on that and how focused they are on that median voter. -- >> that's the central problem of american democracy. >> yes, yes. >> if rang out the edges to restore the soul of the nation -- >> have defected to the -- >> ac still -- >> no, president biden has just left the room. >> and i can tell, you at last year, after the state of the union, it took him 17 minutes to clear the room -- tonight he beat it. it was longer than 17. >> it was 20 or 22 minutes. that was the longest -- >> and the starts the clock ticking, 12 minutes until we expect the republican response from newly minted arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders. before we get, that i wonder if we can get a word from garrett haake. garrett haake, we have spent a lot of time talking about what we perceive to be the back and forth between the president and what were effectively hecklers on the republican side. we were sort of change to the camera in terms of what we could see. from inside the room, did you have any for their clarity on who was yelling at the president and what that back and forth was like in the few instances of the speech where that's happened? >> yeah, rachel, certainly the most interactive state of the union i've ever covered. some of it was clearly intentional on the part of the president, where you kind of did the rope dope on protecting social security and medicare. that was clearly designed to illicit the reaction that it got. and you saw the president kind of give as good as he got in that back and forth. what happened after that was mostly marjorie taylor greene and a handful of other republicans and the back of the room trying to engage the president further on issues around the border and on fentanyl. you heard marjorie taylor greene called the president a liar. you heard some shouting about china spying on us, secure the border. and another member who i could not identify who is sitting, just below me, kind of away from the rest of the most sort of pro trump republican party said in the back center of the chamber, who, said it during the portion of fentanyl deaths that these your fault, which kind of drew the most gasps and the most negative reaction from fellow republicans, that was clearly just taking things a little bit too. far [interpreter] a very, very -- i think you can probably argue, in all those instances, played to president biden's advantage a little. bit obviously the intentional robot open medicare and social security, and then republicans chasing him and trying to respond to him in a way that kevin mccarthy, warned in this moment in their closed-door conference, meeting not to do. but the lights on the cameras in the microphones will be on them, and in an effort to look like sort of a serious governing partners, that wouldn't do. and they were. >> and garrett, in the moment, it looked to us like kevin mccarthy, we are trying to read his body language a little, bit we all had disagreements about what is spotted language meant. but some of us felt like he was saying shush, shush, trying to make eye contact with members were yelling at the president. telling them to hush. is that it seem like. >> i have a similar read here to, first of, all we know that that's not the way he wanted to present's conference, in terms of getting it into a shouting match back and forth of the president. -- he's trying to represent himself and republicans as worthy partners on things like negotiating the depth ceiling. they belong at the white house, sitting down at the table like adults. at the republican members, and byron donalds tweeted, today but they don't's been back in charge with washington. it was not damage the kevin mccarthy wanted you to the president. but he knows as well as anybody when those cameras are in the chamber. his ability to communicate that to his, conference at least anyways to be effective, was pretty limited as well. >> one last question for you, garrett just in terms of sightlines, the kind of thing that you could see, when there were republican members, and you singled out marjorie taylor greene as one of, them we just played some clips where you can really see her repeatedly screaming, liar and sneering at the president while she was doing it. when the president was responding to some of those heckling moments, was he looking at the individual republicans were screaming, and going back at them, that's what it looked like when we had the camera on him at the podium. it's not the direction in which he was looking, and directing his own rebuttal. >> i got the sense that president biden was prepared for some of this. a medicare and social, security who's clearly prepared to respond directly. he's that line he lucky, use good luck with your senior year. that was clearly directed back in a member. i think is the heckling went on, the desire by the president today engaged directly kind of went away. he was sort of pause and look at the general direction, but you know from my perspective, it's a little bit difficult to tell over the clapping and then always happens. it didn't seem like he was interested in engaging with those interruptions, when it got behind kind of the substantive policy things that he wanted to engage with on. >> garrett hague and valuable for us to have you in the room and able to report on. that we're now expecting republican response from sarah huckabee sanders. >> being a mom to three young children, taught me not to believe every story i hear. so forgive me for not believing much of anything, that i heard tonight from president biden. from out of control inflation in violent, crime to the dangerous border crisis and threat from china. biden and the democrats have failed you. they know it, and you know it. and it's time for change. tonight, lettuce reaffirm our commitment, to a timeless american idea. the government's exists not rule, people but to serve the people. democrats want to rule us with more democratic control. that's not who we are. america is the greatest country, the world has ever known. because where the freest country the world has ever known. with the people who are strong. and resilient. five months ago, i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, it was a hard time for a family. particularly our kids, scarlet, hawke, and george. but we kept our faith, and persevered. thanks to exceptional doctors here in arkansas, a successful surgery, and the grace of god. i'm cancer-free. through it all, i couldn't help but think about my mom. she was 20 years old, and into her first year of marriage. when she was diagnosed with spinal cancer. the doctors told her, she might not live, and if she did live, they said she would never walk again. and if she did walk, she definitely never have children. the daughter she was told she never had, was just sworn in, as the new governor of arkansas, and speaking to you tonight. adversity, and fear of the unknown can paralyze us. but faith propels us to charge boldly ahead. we can't stand still in the face of great challenges. united were put on this earth for such a time as this, to charge boldly ahead. i'll be the first to admit, president biden, and i don't have a lot in common. i'm for freedom, he's for government control. at 40, i'm the youngest governor in the country. and it 80 he's the oldest president in american history. i'm the first woman to lead my state, and he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke a mob that can't even tell you what a woman's. in the radical left america, washington taxes you and lights your hard earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves, and our children are taught to hate one another, on account of their race. but not to love one another, or our great country. whether joe biden believes this madness, or simply is too weak to resist it. his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left. the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left. the choice, is between normal, or crazy. it's time for a new generation of republican leadership. upon taking office just a few weeks ago, i signed executive orders to ban crt, racism, and it indoctrination in our schools. eliminate the use of derogatory term latinx in our government, repealed covid orders, and said never again to authoritarian mandates and shutdowns. americans want common sense former leaders. but in washington, the biden ministration, is doubling down on crazy. president biden inherited the fastest akana economic recovery on record. the most secure border in history. cheap, abundant, homegrown energy. fast rising wages. a rebuilt military, and a world that was stable. and a piece but over the last two years, democrats destroyed at all. despite democrats trillions and reckless spending, and mountains of debt, we now have the worst border crisis in american history. as a mom my heart breaks for every parent who has lost a son or daughter to addiction. 100,000 americans a year are now killed from drug overdoses. largely from fentanyl pouring across our southern border. yet the biden administration refuses to secure the border and save american lives. after years of democratic tax on law enforcement and calls to defund the police. violent criminals roam free while law abiding families live in fear. beyond our border from afghanistan to ukraine from north korea to iran. president biden's weakness puts our nation and the world at risk. and the presidents refusal to stand up to china are most formidable adversary is dangerous and unacceptable. president biden is unwilling to defend our border defender skies and defend our people. he simply unfit to serve as commander-in-chief. and while you reap the consequences of their failures the biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies and the hard reality americans face every day. most american simply want to live their lives and freedom and peace. but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn't start never wanted to find. salute their lives and will shift their false idols all will be government elusive big tech to strip away the most american thing there is. your freedom of speech. that's not normal. it's crazy and it's wrong make no mistake republicans will not surrender this fight. we will lead with courage and do what's right not what's politically correct or convenient republicans believe in america where strong families thrive. and safe communities. where jobs are abundant and paychecks are rising. where the freedom are veterans shed their blood to defend, is the birthright of every man woman and child. these are the principles republican governors are fighting, four and in washington, under the leadership of senate republicans, and speaker kevin mccarthy, we will hold the biden administration accountable. down the street from where ice, that is my alma mater. little rock central high. as a student there i will never forget watching my dad governor mike huckabee and president bill clinton hold the doors open to the little rock nine doors at 40 years earlier had been closed to them because they were black. today, those children once barred from the school house, are now heroes, memorialized in bronze our state house. i'm proud of the progress our country has made and i believe giving every child access to quality education, regardless of the race or income, is the civil rights issue of our day. >> tomorrow, i will unveil an education package will be the most far-reaching, pulled conservative education reform in the country. my plan empowers parent so the real choices. improves literacy, and career readiness, and helps but a good teacher in every classroom, by increasing their starting salary, from one of the lowest to one of the highest in the nation here in arkansas, and across america, republicans are working to end the policy. of trapping kids in failing schools, and sentencing them to a lifetime of poverty. we will educate, not indoctrinate our kids, and put students on a path to success. it's time for a new generation colleague. this is our moment. this is our opportunity. a new generation born in the waiting decades of the last century, shaped by economic boons, and stock market busts. forged by the triumph of the cold war, and the tragedy of 9/11, and generation brimming with passion, and new ideas, to solve age-old problems. i generation more to our deepest values, and oldest traditions. yet unafraid to challenge the president order, and find a better way forward. if we seize this moment together, america can once again be the land of the free, and the home of the brave. during my two and a half years at the white house, i traveled on every foreign trip with the president. a trip i will never forget, was on december 25th, 2018. my husband brian and i just cleaned up wrapping, paper that was shoved into every corner of our house, thanks to a three kids when i had to walk out on my own. families christmas. unable to tell us what tell them where i was going that night, because a place to be traveling was so dangerous, they didn't want anybody to know that the president was going to be on the ground, even for a few hours. we boarded air force one, and complete and total darkness. there were no lights on the plane, no lights on the runway, -- we were going completely off the grid. nearly 12 hours later, in the pitch black of night, we landed in the war torn part of western iraq. it is again, a similar scene. no lights on the plane, no lights on the runway, the only thing you could see was coming from about a mile away. in a dining hall where hundreds of troops, where in the fight against ices. had gathered, expecting to celebrate christmas, a senior military leadership, from around the region. they had absolutely no idea, but the president and first lady, or about to walk into that room. and when they, did it was a sight, and a scene, and a sound. i hope i never forget. in the room erupted, men and women from every race, religion, and region, every political party, every demographic you can imagine. started chanting, in perfect unison, over and over, and over again. usa, usa, usa. it was an absolutely perfect picture, of what makes our country great. one of the young soldiers yelled from the back, mister president, i realist did in the
